Default color of text on new messages written

Hello...
How can I define a color by default on the text, on the new messages that I make?

No but you can create a message template with the chosen font, size and color, etc.

I have 2 accounts in my Mail Preferences, hotmail and gmail. I have tried to set it so when I send a message to a new recipient it is my gmail one that is used as default. However, it is thehotmail account that is always ticked first.
I would like to set my mail preferences so the gmail is my default first choice in sending new messages and is ticked as my default email address.

Lost quick reply text when new message arrived

I was typing a quick reply to a notification of an iMessage message when a new message arrived. The notification for that message was immediately displayed, losing the text of my reply.
Is this normal? Should I report it as a bug?

This is a known issue.

How can I change the default window size of a new message permanently?

The mail window opens up very small and every time I must increase the size manually. I want to be able to set it so it opens larger or at least opens to the saem size as a previous mail window, which is what Mail used to do.
Also, can anyone tell me how to stop that new mail window from opening on the bottom left of my screen? I need to move it in orde to increase the window size. So, 2 default actions that are a psin to constantly deal with.
Is there any guru out there who has had this problem and solved it? Thanks!

How to set default color to e-mail

I want to set a default color for all e-mail messages and although I have tried to set the color it doesn't seem to work ... second day with a mac, so speak slowly.
Also want to set up a signature with the name in one color and address and contact info a different color. I went into mail>preferences>signatures and was able to change font on different lines of signature ... but when I tried to apply colors, it didn't work
Thanks very much in advance for your assistance, halboye

that's not possible. you'll have to do it for every message individually.

that's possible. while editing a signature go to Format menu->show fonts. in the popup click on T with a green rectangle next to it. that's the button for font color. you'll get yet another popup for color. highlight some text in the signature and click on the color you want.
Thanks very much in advance for your assistance, halboye

My iMessage does not appear to be working. Every time I go to reply to an existing message it just appears as normal text. I have tried to create a new message but it still just defaults to normal messages. I have checked my settings but looks ok. Help?

Try the following:
In Finder, select the problematic volume and then press command-I.
Expand the Sharing & permissions section if it's collapsed.
If the section is locked, then unlock it by pressing the padlock button and then authenticating as directed.
Tick/check Ignore ownership on this volume.

How can I add a new message(custom text message) to the holiday approval em

How can I add a new message(custom text message) to the holiday approval email-notification sent to the manager?
TIA

The answer is 'not very easily', unless the information you want to display is the employee's leave balances. In 12.1.3 Oracle have delivered functionality that allows you to include the leave balances in the approval notifications out-the-box, ie, without customization.
For any other information you're probably going to have to customize the standard delivered HRSSA workflow. Within this workflow, the Leave of Absence functionality uses the Notify Approver (Embedded) (HR_APPROVER_NTF) notification. The body of this notification is set to the Notify Approver (Embedded) (HR_NTF_EMBEDDED_REGION) attribute. This in turn defaults to:
JSP:/OA_HTML/OA.jsp?OAFunc=-&HR_EMBEDDED_REGION-&NtfId=-&#NID-
So essentially you can change the HR_APPROVER_NTF notification. The problem with changing this notification is that it's generic - it's used for all SSHR functions and not just Leave of Absence. That means you have to make other, more substantial, customizations to the workflow to ensure the changes you make only applies to LOA.
The other option is to personalize the review page (ie, the region referenced in &HR_EMBEDDED_REGION) to include whatever messages you want. But that means they'll appear on the Review page and all LOA approval notifications and that might not be what you want.
It's usually better to live with what Oracle deliver and find an alternative solution! What's the content of the message you want to include?

How can I see my jabber buddy list as a default and not a new message window on my message app??

I recently got my OS reinstalled and since then I had a multitude of issues.
1) my texts kept showing up on my macbook pro so I took my cell number off the preferences on messages on macbook. Can I still have people facetime me using my cell phone number?
2) I do see my jabber buddy list when I click on the message center as a default. I keep getting the new message window, can i set a default that when i click on it I see who is online vs. having to go to windows and select buddy list all the time??
3) what is bonjour and why would i want to use it?

Hi,
Re 1)
The settings for Messages > iMessages are separate from the FaceTime ones on both Mac and iOS devices.
Re 2)
If you have a Jabber (Google or Facebook Chats included) ID in Messages > Preferences > Accounts you can go to the Window Menu and display them.
By default they are a combined list (Any AIM, Jabber, Yahoo or Bonjour account that is logged in)
In the Preference > General section you can untick the item that gathers them into one list to show them separately.
They also appear in the Window Menu separately with their open CMD + # keystrokes.
Once you have them On show quit the app that way.
It will "Remember" that they were on Show the next time you open the app.
Re 3)
Bonjour is a process on the Mac that "sees" all other Macs on your LAN and shows them in the Side bar of the Finder window as "automatic" Shares.
In iChat and Messages it is an included account that cannot be deleted
If Enabled it can have it's own Buddy List (see 2) )
It shows the Names of the peopel singed in on the other Macs on your LAN that are also using iChat or Messages with the Bonjour Account Enabled.
The name is taken from the My Card in the Address Book or Contacts app.
The My Card should have the Mac User's details (you on Your computer when Logged in) and a head and Shoulders icon.
I have three computers
One is running iChat 4.x.x and on that machine (running Leopard) the My Card calls me Ralph G4 as it is running on G4 tower.
My Laptop has me as Ralph MacBook Pro
This iMac I am posting from has the My Card of Ralph Johns
On this computer if I have iChat running on the other I see Ralph G4 and Ralph MacBook Pro as "Buddies"
It can do everything that the AIM and Jabber logins can do.
Text Chat, Audio Only Chat, Video Chat, Screen Sharing, File Transfers etc.

Change Default Color Profile in New Image Document ?

I've looked and looked, and even Googled. Anyone know how to change the default color profile when you start a New image file? In CS5 mine defaults to sRGB (Under the Advanced drop down) but my CS6 is ProPhoto RGB which means I have to change it manually nearly every time I paste an image copied via right click in a web browser.

I think it the same on windows. If I copy things to the clipboard with Photoshop that the document profile seem to be used there when I do a paste there are no color issues. However if I use Prtscn or Alt+PrtScn to capture screen content. I'll see that the colors are wrong when I paste the clipboard into a new document if my default color space is not sRGB. Then I need to assign sRGB to the document to correct the colors.
If I paste a screen capture into the current document the color can be very off and I will not get a prompt on the color mismatch. Therefore I don't think a screen capture has any profile associated with it. And of course the screen has a much lower resolution then the images I edit. So there is also a big size difference. Here is one scaled to 100% zoom after the paste. You can see both the color and resolution difference. This capture was assigned to sRGB so you will see what the screen looks like after the paste and zoom to 100%.

Setting a default color for messages in Mail

Look at the Mail's preferences, under Composing. Select where you like to save notes and todos.

How to start new messages and replies using text format only?

Hallo,
I would like to start typing a new message in text format without the need to type every time the key option shift command T.
The same, when I reply to a message I would like to use text only.
I have played with the preferences but any of them seems able to do what I want.
Is it possible to customize this in mail?
thanks

Thanks for the help,
I have already made these changes, but I was still having sign differences.
So what I have done now is go to preferences signs and for each account sign I have removed the option "use always my default font" and I have changed all signs font to the same of plain text.
I am trying now... seems better but I am not still sure that it is plain text.
thanks

How do I stop texts from coming to the new Messages app on my macbook?

I was on my computer and wanted to try out the new Messages app so I opened it up, and wrote a message to my g/f and one to my friend. Now everytime they text me I get notifications on my macbook pro. I have clicked the X next to their name on the Messages app to delete the conversation from Messages but whenever they text me I still get pop ups on my macbook.
I do know how to turn of notifications for the messages app completely but I don't want to do that.

Hi,
You could just disable the Account as has been said (Untick the "Enable this Account" box)
You can remove the Apple ID
GO to the Preferences > Accounts and the iMessages account
Use the Account Detail Button
Use the Sign Out button (Removes ID)
Either or these will stop Messages logging in to the iMessages server and trying to Sync iMessages sent to your Apple ID.

When I try to start a new message in iOS 6, I cannot select the text entry area after putting the person I want to send it to. What's going on?

I can only write in a text that has already been started or received. Or I have to go to contacts and select new message. Any ideas why?

Check Settings>Messages>Show Subject Field and make sure it's set to "Off".

How do I change the color of text in Messages?

How do I change the color of text in Messages? It was easy to do before, but I can't seem to find it after the upgrade.. is it a hidden menu option? The gray text is really annoying.

Two possible ways are available
Set the text with and html text string like "<html><font color-red>" + text + "</font></html>"
or get the cellrenderer, cast to the DefaultCellRenderer and call setForeground or background or implement or your own cellrenderer to do the custom coloring (this could maybe depend on indexes)
